Miss Universe Zimbabwe

Since its inception in 1997, the Miss Parade beauty pageant has improved in quality and grown in stature; qualifying it as one of Zimbabwe's top annual catwalk highlights, alongside Miss Zimbabwe, Supermodel and Miss Universe. The pageant has become one of the most glamorous, judging by the successes of some of its most recent winners and has launched a number of Zimbabwean girls into successful modelling and other related careers.
The last edition of Miss Universe Zimbabwe was Tsungai Muswerakuenda, expired on 31 March 2002 which means the title has no current holder. The Miss Universe Zimbabwe was officially directed by Yvette D'Almeida Chakras. Since 2002 Zimbabwe does not compete at Miss Universe due to various political and social problems that it is facing at this very moment.
